1Misi yeneyo Juda a ṱutshela vhana vha khotsi awe, a yo dzula na munna wa Adulamu a no pfi Hira. 2Henefho Juda a vhona ṅwananyana wa muṅwe munna wa Mukanana a no pfi Shua. A mu vhinga a mu dzhenisa nḓuni; 3a vhifha muvhilini, a beba ṅwana wa mutukana, a ri u pfi Ere. 4A dovha a vhifha muvhilini a beba ṅwana wa mutukana, a ri u pfi Onani. 5A dovha hafhu a beba ṅwana wa mutukana, a ri u pfi Shela. Uyo o mu bebela muḓini wa Akhazibi.
6Juda a ṱoḓela tanzhe ḽawe Ere musadzi; o vha a tshi pfi Thamara. 7Hone Muṋe washu a vhona Ere tanzhe ḽa Juda e muvhi; ndi zwe Muṋe washu a mu vhulaha. 8Ndi hone Juda a tshi vhudza Onani a ri, “Dzhenisa musadzi wa mukomana wau nḓuni, u mu khunyeledzele pfanelo dzau sa murathu wa munna wawe uri u bebele mukomana wau vhana.” 9Hone Onani a zwi ḓivha uri avho vhana a vha nga vhi vhawe; ndi zwe a ri musi a tshi dzhenisa musadzi wa mukomana wawe nḓuni, a tevhulela mbeu yawe fhasi uri a si bebele mukomana vhana. 10Muṋe washu o vhona zwe a ita zwo vhifha; ndi zwe na ene a mu vhulaha. 11Ndi hone Juda a tshi vhudza Thamara musadzi wa ṅwana wawe a ri, “Iyo dzula u tshilikadzi muṱani wa khotsi au ṅwananga Shela a vhuye a aluwe.” Ndi nge a humbula a ri, “Na Shela a nga kha ḓi fa unga vhakomana vhawe.”
Ndi hone Thamara a tshi ṱuwa a yo dzula muṱani wa khotsi awe.
12Hó no fhela tshifhinga tshilapfu, musadzi wa Juda ṅwananyana wa Shua a fa. Musi Juda o no rudza mbilu, i si tsha vhavha, a gonya Thimina he vhanna vha vha vha tshi khou vheula nngu dzawe, khonani yawe Hira wa Adulamu a ṱuwa nae. 13Huno Thamara a tshi pfa upfi, “Khotsi a munna wau vha khou ya Thimina u vheula nngu dzavho,” 14a bvula nguvho dzawe dza tshilikadzi, a khurumela ṅwenda uri a ḓikhakhise, a dzula fhasi khoroni i dzhenaho Enaimi, muḓi u re tsini ha gondo ḽi livhaho Thimina. Ndi nge a vhona uri naho Shela o no aluwa, ha athu kumedzwa ene uri a vhe musadzi wawe.
15Musi Juda a tshi mu vhona, a humbula uri ndi phombwe nge a vha o khurumela. 16Nga u sa ḓivha uri ndi musadzi wa ṅwana wawe, a ya khae nga thungo ha gondo a ri, “Iḓani zwino ndi ni dzhenise nḓuni.” Thamara a vhudzisa a ri, “Vha tshi nnzhenisa nḓuni vha ḓo mpha mini?”
17Juda a ri, “Ndi ḓo ni fha mbudzana i no bva sambini ḽanga.” Thamara a ri, “Vha ḓo mpha tshiṅwe tshine nda ḓo sala ndo tshi fara u swika vha tshi i ḓisa.”
18Juda a ri, “Ndi nga ni fha mini tshine na ḓo sala no fara?”
Thamara a fhindula a ri, “Nga vha mphe rinngi yavho ya luswayo na geḓane yayo na mbaḓa ye vha fara.”
Juda a zwi dzhia a mu ṋea, a konou mu dzhenisa nḓuni, a mu vhifhisa muvhilini. 19Thamara a ṱuwa a swika a bvula ṅwenda wawe, a dovha a ambara zwiambaro zwawe zwa tshilikadzi.
20Zwino-ha, Juda a ruma khonani yawe wa Adulamu a isa iḽa mbudzana uri tshiḽa tshe uḽa musadzi a sala o tshi fara tshi vhuye, hone uyo musadzi a si mu wane. 21Uyo munna a vhudzisa vhanna vha dzulaho henefho a ri, “Uḽa musadzi wa phombwe we a vha e tsini ha nḓila ngei Enaimi u ngafhi?” Vhone vha ri, “A ho ngo vhuya ha vha na musadzi wa phombwe hafhano.”
22Uyo munna a humela ha Juda a ri, “Uḽa musadzi a tho ngo mu wana. Na vhanna vha no dzula henengei vho ri a ho ngo vhuya ha vha na musadzi wa phombwe henefho.”
23Ndi hone Juda a tshi ri, “Nga a dzule na zwine a vha nazwo, ri sa ḓo ḓiseisa nga vhathu; tenda ndo isa mbudzana heino khae, inwi no ro sa mu wana.”
24Musi ho no fhela miṅwedzi miraru, Juda a vhudzwa upfi, “Thamara musadzi wa ṅwana wavho u na mulandu wa vhupombwe; zwino ri tshi khou amba o no ḓi vhifha muvhilini.”
Juda a ri, “Nga a bviselwe nnḓa a fhiswe, a fe!”
25Musi a tshi khou bviswa, a ruma munna a isa mafhungo ha khotsi a munna wawe a ri, “Zwine nda vha nazwo ndi zwa muṋe wa thundu hei.” A dovha a ri, “Kha vha sedze vha vhone arali vha tshi ḓivha uri rinngi iyi ya luswayo na geḓane yayo na mbaḓa ndi zwa nnyi?”
26Juda a ḓivha iyo thundu a ri, “A si ene o khakhaho, ho khakha nṋe, nge nda si mu fhe ṅwananga Shela uri a vhe musadzi wawe.” Zwa ri u ralo Juda a si tsha dovha a mu dzhenisa nḓuni.
27Musi tshifhinga tshawe tsha u vhofholowa tshi tshi swika, a wanala e na mawela a vhatukana muvhilini wawe. 28Musi a tshi khou beba, muṅwe ṅwana a bvisa tshanḓa; mubebisi a fara itsho tshanḓa a tshi vhofhelela harani tswuku a ri, “Hoyu ndi ene we a thoma u swika.” 29Huno uyo a humisa tshanḓa, muṅwe ngae a bvela nnḓa, mubebisi a ri, “Khezwo, wo ḓivulela nḓila!” Onoyo a pfi Pheretse (Mvulanḓila). 30Ha konou bebwa muṅwe ngae we a vha o vhofhelelwa harani tswuku tshanḓani, onoyo a pfi Zera (Vhutswuku).
